Biennale is a typical festival. Unlike other festivals here the artists stay for days and create their piece of art. Again to be noted is that it is not for sale. People can come and see it and study the details. Even discussions will be arranged so that interested people can interact with the artist. Stage items will also be there at different locations and people can choose according to their interest.
